I'm a singer/songwriter from Minneapolis, MN. I have been playing guitar for about 4 years, but I just recently started writing my own songs. I have never had lessons, because I think they call it 'play' for a reason... and lessons might take that fun away from me.

My greatest musical influences are Joshua Radin & Schuyler Fisk, Jack Johnson, Ben Gibbard, Wilco, Tyler Burkum, David Crowder, Jewel (older stuff), The Indigo Girls, Matthew Sweet, Matt Costa, The Beatles, Bob Dylan.

I am currently a student at the College of St. Benedict in St. Joseph, MN, and I play on campus and at local coffee shops. I like to play with and meet other local artists.

Some of my songs are uploaded online at:
